Sarah and Aaron had a fun backyard wedding at her family vacation home in Northport.  I just loved how her color choices blended seamlessly together for perfection with the sunset and lake view.

Nate and Javi had a wonderful Northern Michigan wedding at the Homestead in Glen Arbor.  They had an intimate ceremony on the patio at Cafe Manitou and were blessed with unusually perfect weather for mid-September.  And that sunset!  How amazing is that?!

Marcy and Stan were married at Visions at CenterPointe in Traverse City on a beautiful late summer day.  We were blessed with gorgeous weather and comfortable temperatures to enjoy their waterfront venue and view.  Stan’s sons sang during the ceremony as a fantastic personal touch – – and they were both very good!  All in all, it was a lovely day rounded out by some good old dance floor fun.

Zach will be graduating high school this year.  He was joined by his Mom and sisters for a quick spin around the state hospital before the rain came in.  It’s been a while since I’ve seen these kids and can’t believe how beautiful and grown up they are!  It does make me happy to see that they are still the wonderful, good-humored children I knew a few years ago.  I am so thrilled to continue keeping an eye on them as they grow into adults.  I know Mom and the rest of their family has done an outstanding job on making them who they are!

This wonderful family came up north to enjoy the last bit of summer before the girls go back to school.

This fun family all came together to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa in Suttons Bay for the last week before school starts back up.

Katie and Tobias were married at Castle Farms in Charlevoix in a lovely evening ceremony. Tobias is from Germany and his parents and groomsmen all took the big journey to be a part of the day.

I’ve had this vision of the stars and Milky Way over the Castle Queens Courtyard for a while now.  That courtyard faces south, where the Milky Way can be found in early evening this time of year.  As it gets darker earlier now, it’s fun to play with more of these ideas.
